Who Remembers the Drive-In Movies?

Who remembers going to the drive-in movies? I can remember going with my parents and my little brother and sister. We would all pile into the station wagon and off we would go. There was a little playground for us to play on before the movie and during intermission. We would bring pillows and blankets for the back of the station wagon because the three of us children would hardly ever stay awake for the second feature.  There are not very many of these around anymore but we discovered one that is about 30 miles from our home. It is called the Galaxy Drive-In and it is located in Ennis, Texas. The price is fairly reasonable at seven dollars per adult and three dollars per child. This includes two movies. I have been a few times with my daughter and her friends. This one does not have a playground but it does have a little miniature golf area. The snack bar is very reasonable, too. There is nothing like sitting in your car a watching the big screen. You can use the little boxes for the sound or now you can even tune in on your car radio. They usually have some of the same movies that you would find at any movie theater. It is an awesome experience. A real enjoyable time from an era gone by.

My daughter, age 20, and her boyfriend, age 23, go there about once every couple of months. For about $20.00, they get 2 movies and dinner from the snack bar. These two like to take the lawn chairs and sit in front of the car during the movie.  They are going tonight to see some kind of scary movies. I will not be going with them this time because I'm not into the scary ones. I am a big baby! I will be lending them my car to go because it is much more dependable.( They did say they would put gas in my car!)  Will I be waiting up for them to come home? You had better believe it! It is my car, after all!

Do you have a drive-in movie theater close to you? If you do, you really should go, at least once. It is an experience that many never have! Do something different! Have an awesome summer!
